Partial restrictions on using Panasonic digital video cameras to play AVCHD motion images recorded with the DMC-G5. • AVCHD motion images recorded onto an SD Memory Card or a DVD disc cannot be played on a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. • AVCHD motion images recorded with the image quality set to SH mode (1,280 × 720) cannot be played on AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras. • AVCHD motion images recorded with AVCHD-compatible digital video cameras cannot be played on the DMC-G5. • More detailed information is available on our support site: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/ About the performance of Face Recognition function Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.

The Mir rorless Pedigree
E n d l e s s
E v o l u t i o n
LUMIX revolutionized the SLR camera in 2008 by eliminating the mirror — marking the world's first Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) camera. In addition to making the body and lens smaller and lighter, the new camera achieved better handling and higher-quality images and performance. In 2012, the DMC-G5 took the next major step. Inheriting all previous innovations, it added new image rendering capabilities and nimble mobility, while also optimizing video performance. Once again, mirrorless technology is driving system camera evolution.

Advanced Technology Lets You Harness Your Own Creativity.
16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor
High-Speed, High-Performance Venus Engine
Panasonic has added its original pixel mix technology and the inherent high speed of the CMOS sensor to the 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor. Processing is further designed to minimize noise generation in the new sensor. Finer wiring around the photodiode achieves a higher aperture ratio, which results in higher resolution and an excellent S/N ratio while a new high-performance transistor speeds up signal processing. Taking full advantage of the Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine, images can be shot in low lighting at the high ISO sensitivity setting of 12800.
The Venus Engine applies advanced signal processing to both photos and video, and attains exceptional noise-reduction performance with the combination of 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) and Multi-process Noise Reduction (MNR) systems. A total of four CPUs work in tandem to quickly process the digital signals for these advanced noise reduction systems, and the signals for 1,920 x 1,080 Full-HD progressive video recording and highspeed burst shooting.
Top-Class Aspherical Lens Production
Noise Reduction System
Lumix G lenses are all developed in-house. Their quality is inspected by the UA3P Ultra-High Accuracy 3D Profilometer, an instrument that was originally developed by Panasonic and is now used by optical manufacturers all over the world. Panasonic’s collaboration with Leica Camera AG also resulted in stringent quality standards for these advanced lenses and a system in which each and every lens is inspected.
The DMC-G5 features two types of noise reduction: Multiprocess Noise Reduction, which optimizes the noise reduction in the bright parts of the image for both single* and burst shooting, and 3D Noise Reduction, which applies optimal noise reduction by differentiating the edges and the smooth parts of the image in single shots. This system effectively suppresses the kind of noise that is typically found in high-sensitivity image recording.*
Rich Gradation and a Wide Contrast Range HDR (High Dynamic Range) The HDR function overlays several still images that are consecutively shot at different exposure levels to produce a single composite image without blown highlights (overexposure) or blocked shadows (under-exposure).
Over-exposure
Under-exposure
* Not applicable to video recording.
Dust Reduction System If dust or other foreign matter were to enter the camera while changing lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in your photos. The Dust Reduction System in the DMC-G5 helps eliminate this possibility by placing a SupersonicWave Filter in front of the Digital Live MOS Sensor, between the low-pass filter and the shutter. Vibrating vertically around 80,000 times per second, the filter effectively repels dust and other particles. Flow of the Dust Reduction System

High-Precision AF Makes Sure You'll Always Get Your Shot.
Contrast AF Accuracy
Eye Sensor AF
Full-area Focusing
The DMC-G5 uses the Contrast AF system, which boasts high accuracy even when shooting at a small F value. Unlike Phase Difference AF, which is susceptible to a mechanical margin of error, focusing in the DMC-G5’s Contrast AF is controlled by a system in which the image sensor doubles as the AF sensor to achieve precise focusing — and no mechanical margin of error.
The high-resolution Live View Finder features the Eye Sensor AF function, which automatically starts focusing when you look into the LVF to capture the spur-of-the-moment. It’s almost as though the camera understands your shooting intent and speeds up the focusing process to help you get the sharpest, most accurate shot possible.
Full-area focusing in the DMC-G5 lets you focus on any point in the field of view. You can freely and intuitively compose your shots with touch-screen operation. Full-area Focusing, a convenience made possible by Contrast AF.

Contrast AF* gives the DMC-G5 a variety of AF modes. There’s one that’s just right for any shooting situation. Choose the mode you want with the AF mode button. * Lenses that are not compatible with the Contrast AF function can be manually focused.
Light Speed AF — The World’s Fastest
High-Resolution 6-fps Burst Shooting
Burst Shooting with AF Tracking
The incredible speed of the DMC-G5 precisely captures moving subjects. It features the world’s fastest level of auto focusing, called Light Speed AF, which is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by doubling the drive speed from 60 to 120 frames per second.* The DMC-G5’s advanced Contrast AF system makes sure you always get the shot you want.
The DMC-G5 can fire off up to about 6 frames per second in full 16.05-megapixel resolution with its mechanical shutter. Even higher-speed burst shooting is possible when the electronic shutter is used, like 20 fps for capturing race cars and other subjects that are even difficult to see with the naked eye.
Burst shooting with AF tracking automatically maintains the focus while tracking moving subjects. This lets you capture high-quality images in full 16.05-megapixel resolution at 3.7 fps.
